Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things in the stubbing good it sting together. Please, I don't join jo. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby, huh. I show well a good morning everybody. You'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Here we go today. I think I have something for a lot of people today, at least I hope I do. And this is about on your journey, And this is about something that happens to us all. I mean, what happens to all of us from time to time when we get discouraged, What happens to all of us when we feel like quitting, What happens to all of us when we have that turn back moment, What happens to all of us when it don't seem like it's gonna pan out. Because I want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul, has those thoughts about something at some point point in their life. I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about things not happening as fast as I like them. All things don't pan out the way I would like for them to have panned out. I mean, there's so many ways to get discouraged. But but what my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It is a part of the growth process. It is a test. It is a test of your faith. How bad you want it, do you really believe? That's all faith is. It's simply and I've said this how many times. Faith is to belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes, setbacks comes, it is a test of your faith. At least it's been that way for me. Now other people can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I can only give it to you the way it has come to me and throughout my life, and man on man on man. Discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal with because it seems at times when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this means the end, and if you allow it to set in, it can be just that the end of you. When Milly, Milly, it was a test, That's all it is. But the majority of people that I know who are not successful or who have told me the story of how they gave up, it was because at a moment of discouragement that they allowed it to set in and it became so engulfing that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And then they started justifying it with hither one that I hate to hear. Well, if if it's God's will, excuse me. If it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's will that you're not successful. If it's God's will that you lay down and give up, it's God's will that you allow yourself to amount to to not reach your potential. That's God's will. That's not the God I know. That's not the God I served. That's not the God I've read about. That's not the God I believe in. I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something that he didn't bring me this far to leave me. I just don't believe that, not for a second. Now have I convinced myself or some things, yep, have I allowed the devil to come into the picture and paint a different one from it. Yep, yep, I've done all of that. But you can't blame that on God. Now, come on, So when discouragement comes, try to look at it if you can, as a test of your faith, and you merely have to pass the test. It could be for a day, a half a day, a few hours, a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody know how long the test period is. Your job is to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive. That's your job. If you do that, that's how you pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in two weeks, it could be over in a month. You don't know. But all you got to do is wake up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging feeling. And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go. This is the part I know about for show because how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in order to get to where God wanted me to be. What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task, I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be like if I were to complete the task? What would it be like? Man? What would the outcome be for me if I hung on in there? If I didn't give up, if I if I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit. I imagine if I don't give up, What would it be like? Man, Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true. But if I don't quit and give up, that might just be the case. I start talking to myself like that, I think, think of what the upside is? What's the upside to stay in with it? You see, all this is the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome and the outcome is appealing to you, if you imagine what it would be like if you don't give up or you don't quit, you if you think only of what the upside is to stay in with it, And then I go, where can this lead to? If I stay with it? Man, and the outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to? Because I mean, there's always more to it. So where else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man? What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have in store for me? If I just hang in there? If I pass this test of faith? If I just passed this test, Now, it ain't gonna be the only one. But you gotta get past this one. No, then you're gonna hit a smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one. It's gonna be another one. Life ain't none but a series of tests. Man. Man, when you're thinking about giving up, when you're discourage, think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like if you don't quit, if you don't give up, what's the upside to stay in with it? Where can this all lead to? What? What can this get you too? If you do this and you get to where you think you want to be, Oh my god, what's after that? What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on to your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man? If I just passed this test, you gotta talk yourself into hanging in there. You're listening tow ladies, and gentlemen today it's gonna be a little bit different, and that we have half or the cast missing. Shirley's out on vacation birthday.

You're listening to Okay, time now Steve for ask the CLO. That is you, my brother. This one is from Harper in Nashville. Harper says, my wife and Harper that's right his dad at Harpor her go ahead. My wife and I are fifty seven years old, but she's not a young fifty seven year old like me. I'm not the most physically fit person by I enjoy talking and taking a walk in the neighborhood or walking to get some coffee in the mornings. But my wife is lazy, a complainer that wants to drive everywhere and sit around the house all day. She's in great health and she's still slim and trim like I like it. But I'm concerned about growing old gracefully with her because she's aging faster than I am. How do I start this conversation with her, Well, you gotta tell her real suthing. You're the love of my life. You're my soul maid. I love you, and I want us to grow old together, soul. I want us to start doing some things together that might keep us here longer. I think we should get on her eating regiment together. I think we should go on walks together. Though. I think we should do a lot to do some more activities together so we can grow old and you know, and and and and stay fit. You know, let's go down here and get into some yoga, you know, let's get into a pilates class. You know, let's go take all, you know, stuff like that. But you've got to make it a wee project and not a her project. Okay, that's pointing at saying, oh no, sir, no, sir, don't do that. So when she when he say all that, dog, you don't think she comes she come back and say so you're trying to say I'm big. That's what you're trying to say. You know, that's exactly body trying to say. But she ain't big, and he said that in the letter. But no, I'm just worried. I just want us to have the best quality life that we can have healthy. Yes, yes, keywords. That's some good words. You're telling them what to do, all right, clo, here we go Tamara in New New Work, New Jersey. She says, I'm a forty four year old singer, mother of a twenty year old son. Growing up, he had his own phone line, his own car for his sixteenth birthday, his own credit card, and he said his own curfew. Because he's always been a straight a student and very mature. When he turned twenty and got a new girlfriend, all of that change. Now he's talking about taking a break from college and I can tell he's smoking weed. I think this new girl who's four years older than him that he is, is the cause of this. Is he too old now for me to intervene? God? Well, it's never too old to intervene. Okay, But your boy got a problem. Yeah, you know he didn't got he didn't got something put on him? Is that what it is? That, and look, it's not about intervening, but you got to bring up the subject. And you know you still I don't care how old they get. You still on the parent, right, and you being forty four, you do no more than he does at twenty. So you're gonna have to reach the subject and at least put it out. There Fore, you can't do nothing at that age where they can make decisions and go the other way of everything and counter to what you've taught them. That's just part of that. Tommy and I have kids at that age, so we already know. So you know, good luck. But he's not too old for you to bring up the subject. Okay, So she keep on bringing it up and keep talking. Yeah, okay, all right, here we go. See. Hello. This is from Little D in Mobile, Alabama. I am a twenty seven year old man and I have three kids by the same female. She's twenty five, and every time she gets pregnant, we break up and she doesn't talk to me during her entire pregnancy. I want to marry this woman, but she said that she's done with me. Since I've been dragging my feet, I didn't want to marry her as long as I was on probation, still on probation and broke. I know we're doing this thing a bit backwards, but I want to show her that I can be a good man and father to our family. How can I get my girl back for good this time? Well, let me explain something, little d Yeah, I know you ain't had time to tell a whole thing, but she break up with you every time you get pregnant because of a reason. A woman just don't get pregnant and then break up with the dude that got her pregnant for no reason. Also keeps happening now that you're not telling in the letter for her to break up with you every time she gets pregnant. And now your letter is a good letter, young man. But your question is how how do I get her back permanently? Well, first of all, you have to convince her of the things that you keep doing on a regularity that you're not gonna do it anymore. And the best way to show a woman that you're gonna be a good man and a good husband is to start being a good man and a good father. You already got three babies. It's easy to prove that you can be a good father. That's easy. Just get to be in it. But something you're doing is not in this letter, and it's something is causing her to have some reservations. Only you can answer that question a little d. But then you can get her back if you start being what you say you are instead of just saying what you're about to be. You know what I'm saying. Action action? Yeah, man, you can fix all that proven stuff by doing it, and then maybe one day you'll be big DP because right now quiet, we got one more quickly. Yogi in Detroit, my sister in law my husband get on my last nerve. Whenever they are together. My husband is fine and when he's not with her, but the moment she steps in, he starts talking proper and acting like a new fool. They grew up in a totally different part of the town than I did, and my sister in law has always looked down on me because of it. I have a PhD. And I'm smarter than both of them combined, but they believe social status is everything. How do I get my husband to stop being a boogie? Butthead around her? Oh ten seconds? Say it in ten seconds?

Hey man, you gotta tell me this right here, right here, right now, Gerald, What is the baddest and I mean the baddest radio show in the land. Come on, brother, the Steve Harvey Morning Show man with this nine shit talking about my foolish suffice. Oh my god, oh my god. You know what. I don't even want to say it, but dog go to it. I think I am the greatest that has ever done it. I am the prank phone call key, I can't hi the that you are coming up entertainment and national news. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Okay, guys, So you know, we've been watching Olympics and someone Biles has been getting so much support from so many people, celebrities, athletes, everybody has been supporting her decision to pull out of the Olympics, the individual games, the team we know. She pulled out the USA gymnastics team, the female team. They won the silver medal, and she talked about her mental health. She's just in a different place, she said, she says, dealing with some things and she didn't want to hurt herself hurt the team. Well check this out, guys. The Texas Deputy Attorney General, his name is Aaron Rates. He has sparked outrage on social media. He tweeted that Simone Biles was a national embarrassment after her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics. Ye got to do with the Olympics. How dare him tweet something like that? You know, he's trying to say that she's selfish, and he compared her to other gymnasts in the early nineties. Her name was Kern Carrie Strug and she competed. I think she had an ankle injury and she competed, and so he's trying to compare Simone Biles to carry Strug. Carrie tweeted that she supported Simone Biles and that she was not, you know, on board with what this Texas Attorney Journal tweeted, Well, you know, I mean, first of all, the young lady in the nineties had an ankle injury. Simone doesn't have an ankle injury. She has an injury that's going on internally that we know nothing about. Secondly, this Deputy Attorney General with his missque Lass position, has other things he should be concerned about, like voting rights. But I bet if you concerned about Simone Bows, you don't give a damn about voting ranks. And I can ensure you're voting against voting rights for other people. So that puts you in the category of racist to me. So, now that we've got that part of it out the way, you are talking about a young girl, basically, let's just be real. Who do flips? Right? What she don't want to? Shan won't play no more right, she won't go home. She tired. It is. She don't want the pressure, no mold. Whatever's going on with her, it's really none of our business. She pulled out of the Olympics after all that preparation for her to pull out. Don't you think something could possibly be wrong? And so you know, I mean, but really we're talking about the Olympics. What y'all talking about? You don't look man, When Clay Thomas got injured for the Golden State Warriors in the middle of it, Clay Thompson, he went out Jamal Mary with the Denver Nuggets, he got injured, he went out. The Brooklyn Nets didn't get to play in the finals because they had injuries. The girl has an injury that we're unable to see. But still something is wrong. It's an injury that takes people's out. The tennis player, what's her name, she pulled out because she had an injury that you can't see, y'all stupid, she flept. You want a gold met take your monck ass over there and win one, mister Attorney General. Yeah, you don't even do nothing, and you passing judgment on people who them. She's one of the greatest gymnasts of all times. She'll won't do it no more. You go over there and get go over there and get a damn medal yourself, Yes, sir, Time for today headlines Steve, let's go man, ladies and gentlemen, miss and triumph. Yeah, we're gonna get to that one. Good morning, everybody, here we go. President Biden is to announce later today that all Americans should start masking up again, even vaccinated people, and that, of course is because of that of the variant that's going on to coronavirus, which is very very very very contagious. No real surprise though. Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy's critical of the CDC's new mask requirement that even vaccinated people should wear masks indoors. McCarthy calls the reinstitution of restrictions quote a decision not based on science. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi A reportedly called McCarthy a moron. When asked about it again by the press, she put it like this. To say that wearing a mask is not based on science, I think is not wise and that was my comment. Certainly, the Republican Party has been delinquent and embracing the science that people need to be vaccinated, and she says, you know, if everything is evident, Oh, we talk about Republicans again. Texas Deputy Attorney generally just heard of a little bit about that from Stephen. The folks. Aaron Rights has sparked outrage on social media for tweeting that uber athlete Simone Biles is a quote national embarrassment unquote because she's announced her withdrawal from this week's Tokyo Olympics. No word on whether she'll participate in next week's Individual Apparatus, a competition just one day after withdrawing from the team division because of mental stress of Biles, who was a Houston native, and says she is pulling out of the games for at least for this week. She says her body's but her mind is not, and the Texas AG calls her a selfish, childish, national embarrassment. Wealth folks on social media coming down hard on this guy, demanding that he apologize, and so are her teammates. They support her, they support the young athlete. Olympic spokesman Mark Adams says there'll be everyone behind her. There is in the village, on top of all the psychologists and so on that we have there there is also a helpline in seventy languages which will keep going after the games, and that Deputy Age has since removed his little nasty tweet. According to a published report, the architect of the Florida condo that collapsed last month, killing ninety eight people, was reportedly suspended for gross incompetency years earlier because of the structural failures associated with another work of his. William Friedman designed the cha Champlaining Towers South, and the Florida Board of Architecture found this guy, Freedman, who died in two thousand and eight, guilty of gross incompetence. It's important to mention that the officials haven't really determine the exact cause of the collapse or whether Freeman's design paid roll. But I just you need to know that today's visited a neighbor day. Good morning. I'll bring you some cupcakes. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steven Show. All right, check this out, guys. Charles Barkley says the only people who don't have the COVID nineteen vaccines are just well buttholes. But he said a hole, said Carl. He said a hole. Char said, people that don't get the vaccine, asshole, thank you, thank you. That's it was my honor. Well check this out. While appearing on see c NBC I should say, Charles Barkley said, I'm vaccinated, and everybody should be vaccinated period. The only people who are not vaccinated are just a holes. So Charles went on to say he personally thinks that the sports leagues should force players to get vaccinated, and he said, can you imagine if one of these guys that are not vaccinated, if they were, you know, they want these players or their kids, or their wives, or their girlfriends or their parents get sick and die over some unnecessary conspiracy bull blank, that's sir. Charles said, I don't understand somebody else on the team, and you got all these people around you, I don't understand them not getting vaccinated. That makes no sense. You know, you playing day in and day out, you know that this virus is deadly, and you don't want to You don't want to protect yourself and anybody around you. That don't make no sense to me. It not only don't make no sense if you playing basketball on the team sport, it don't make no sense if you're part of a family right to see. Yeah, your loved ones. Yeah, it's it's it's more non athletes than it is athletes that's walking around not vaccinated. And I started to on this show not to push the vaccination because I was getting so many friends of mine gonna, hey, man, Steve, and ain't right for you to push that you don't know what's in it, sending people off to slaughter. Well, now that several very very close people in my life have contracted COVID, and a very very close person in my life it's in the hospital right now suffering been in I SEU five days with COVID. They just moved him to a regular room. I was able to talk to him. He said, Man, I wish I got that vaccine. Wow. Now there's a report out somebody told me as I haven't seen it, but somebody said that most people who are in the hospital now who have contracted COVID, who do not have the vaccine, every last one of them has said I wish I had taken the vaccine now, because see, once you get hospitalized, those symptoms and got serious, very serious. This is a serious, deadly diseased. My in laws who are in their eighties got vaccinated. The nurse that goes to their house gave them COVID. They didn't even have to go to the hospital now pre existing condition, and the doctor clearly stated if they had not got this vaccine two weeks ago when we celebrated their sixty, if we're in the anniversary, might not be having it. More of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this, you're listening to show as we get older, you guys, the family dynamic tends to turn with you know, kids suddenly feeling the need to look after and take care of their parents regardless of the relationship that they have with them. Well, this one mom doesn't think that that's the case. She's gone viral sharing her opinion on TikTok and she recently posted a video where she expressed her belief that kids don't oh parents anything and it quickly went viral. She got like five million views where she's saying that she's grateful for what her mom has done for her, but she's just saying that children don't owe their parents are certain kind of relationship, they don't owe them anything depending on what the parent did for them or if the parent didn't respect them or they didn't have this relationship. So I don't know, what do you guys think? Do you think your kids owe you something for raising them? Or Steve, you're really good at this. What kind of advice can you give to parents out there? I think we kind of talked about parenting the other day during closing remarks. What do you think? I mean? Look, parenting can be a thankless job at times. Yeah, but wouldn't it be great if it was? Or not? But if it was a thankful job, I'm grateful for my parents, the life and the love and the discipline and the lessons they taught me. Yes, I'm grateful to my parents. I am forever grateful, and I felt indebted to them because what they gave me got me to where I am today. My mother gave me faith, and my daddy gave me work, ethic and the principles of manhood. Them two things are the cornerstone of who I am today. So now I feel an obligation to them now, just like Tommy, me, every man that I know that's worth They salt when they get their hands on their money. They won't do something for their mom. They won't do something for their daddy. Anybody I know, every man that I know is worth is salt. So I don't know where you know, this is a new generation, this generation the kids is different. Man. And you know, I got you feel like you don't owe but where's your sense of gratitude for what was done to you? Because everybody don't get great parents, and if you get a pair of great parents, you blessed. You're very fortunate. And I think too, this is a cultural thing. Because this woman was on TikTok and I looked her up. She is white, and I think that for us, we talk about as African Americans, the responsibility and the gratitude that we have for our parents. How we no, it's not a burden, but it's just what we do. You know, how do you understand what I'm trying to say as a as a culture thing and what we do with that with our parenting and take care parents. Look, we come up in a way where I felt like I owed my parents, That's what I mean, that's it. Yes, you know, and I respected them and honored them. I honored my mother and father. Now you may feel like you don't owe your parents nothing like they do, and what they're supposed to do. But I think when you're the recipient of a great parent, I think you're blessed, and I think that should be some level of importance. And I think if they took care of you when you needed it, I think you should take care of them when they need it. That's your go hand in hand because your mom and daddy could have walked off from your monkey ass, but if they stayed there, then help guide you through some tough times. You can't do the same thing for them when they get old. I just I just think we've lost our sense of respect and responsibility a lot of times. And you know, the woman, she can say what she wanted to say. She got every right and she got every right to feel that way. But I disagree. I would think that, after all I've been and done for my children, that if I got old and needed something, they would be there for me. And I'm banking at least three of them to do that. What about the other four? You're not quite sure you wrote for that? See, yeah, yeah, parenting is like you said, it's a thankless job sometimes. But I love my parents, love my mama, all right. Coming up next, the nephew is here. We're gonna switch gears. You got today's prank phone call right after this you're listening to show coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after Shirley is off today. But check this out.

All right, let's get it. Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject my first major dating mistake with brothers, dear uncle Steve and Aunt Shirley. I am a young female that graduated from high school two years ago. Yeah, and I am in a sticky situation. You see, after graduation, I met a guy on an online app and we texted back and forth and decided to spend some time together. We ended up going on dates and messing around a lot. He is a really great person, but he was not the one for me, so we ended our fling. We stayed in touch for a while through text messages, but that was about it. Last November, I met a new guy and he and I are in a committed relationship, so things were great until we went to a New Year's Eve party and the guy from my past was at the party. As if it were not awkward enough seeing him, I found out that this guy and my boyfriend are brothers. We allowed my boyfriend to introduce us, and neither one of us gave away our big secret. I may be overthinking this, but I do not want this guy to drive a wedge in my relationship by telling his brother about all of the wild stuff we used to do. It's been very awkward whenever all three of us are around each other. I think I should come clean and mentioned to my new guy that I used to mess with his brother. Do you think that he knows already and likes me so much that he's not saying anything. I don't want my past to ruin our future. I really value your advice, so please help me. Well, so far he hasn't told his brother, right, So what makes you think he's gonna tell him at all? I mean, I do think you're overthinking this a bit. If you're truly in a committed relationship, like you say, it might not matter to him. He hasn't mentioned it to you. You haven't said that in the letter that he's mentioned it at all. So I think you're a young lady. I think you need to know and you'll learn in life that stuff is going to happen. Steph happens in life that you have absolutely no control over. And I think that's just what happened here. You met his brother first. You guys were both very young. You've matured now, you've moved on as people do. You said in your letter he was not the one for you, so you guys ended it so to you. I just say, stop feeling guilty, Stop feeling some kind of way when you're with your new man. All of that. I mean, life goes on. Let this go live your life. Stop worrying about the past. If it comes up, you can say that was a long time ago. It's over. You know it's just over. Sorry I didn't say anything, but it's over. It didn't mean anything to me. We're together now, Steve, Well that came from your aunt Shirley. Yes, that's real, nice, hopeful, optimistic response. Lets you feel better about yourself and all that now. Because you are a young female, I want to try to do the same thing for you, but you enough stick situation. This guy that you ended up going on the date messing around with a lot, really great person, but he was not the one for me, so we ended it. But you stayed in touch for a while through text message. Well we all know what was on new text message, what they was doing. You know they were sexty, they were on show mission maber that time you and all that time. Last November, I met a new guy. He and I ain't a committed relationships. Things great to the New Year's Eve party. The guy from your past at the party. Awkward enough you find out this guy and your boyfriend our brothers. We allowed my boyfriend to introduce us, and neither one of us gave away our big secret. I'll be overthinking. I might be overthinking this, but I do not want this guy to drive awadge in my relationship by telling his brother, well, now let me tell you something. The first brother that you slept with, he ain't doing nothing wrong. You said it was. He was this great guy. He just wasn't the one for you, so you ended your fleeing. Now, you don't want this guy to drive away in my relationship by telling his brother about and hit a crazy part about all the wild stuff we used to do. See that asked where we how wild was it? Exactly what was you doing? It's been awkward whenever three of us around each other. I think I should come clean and mentioned to my new guy that I used to mess with his brother. Do you think that he knows already and likes me so much that he's not saying anything? You can take that out your mind. That ain't how men work. Do you think he knows already and likes me so much that he not saying anything? What? Hey don't know? Your boyfriend don't know nothing about this. I don't want my pass ruin my future. I really value advice, so please help me. Here's two things you got going for you. Number One, your boyfriend's brother may not want to hurt his brother by saying something. If he thinks his brother's happy, so maybe he won't say nothing. On the other hand, he may not want to hurt his brother by not telling him, because if it come out, he's gonna be looking up beside his brother's head. The best thing for you to do is shut your damn mouth. Now, this is taking a page from the men's playbook. Why would you bring up an issue that ain't an issue? Why would you tell the truth when saying nothing at all sounds much better. I'm gonna repeat that. Why would you tell the truth when saying nothing at all sounds so much better? Shut your damn don't say nothing. Hear your boyfriend act like you ain't never seen that other day, And then if it come out, just say I didn't know until I saw him at the New Year's Eve party and I was too embarrassed. I felt horrible. That's all you can do. And then throw yourself at the mercy of the court. When we come back, Jay and I will do reenact me. All right. We'll have part two suns and Jay's gonna step in as well when we come back at twenty three after the hour. Right after this, you're listening to all right, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject my first major dating mistake with brothers. This girl met a guy online, dated him, had an affair. It was pretty hot, did a lot of while stuff. Found out they wasn't for each other. They broke up. They stayed in til they text each other for a little while. She meets another great guy. Everything going fine. They go to the New Year's Eve party and the guy she used to date was there. Come to find out, the two dudes is brothers. Now she messed up her Boyfrid introduced him as his new woman and his brother. They both kept their secret a secret. They didn't say nothing to each other. Maybe the brother don't want to hurt his brother and ain't gonna ever hurt him by telling him. Maybe it could be y'all secret, but we don't know. Then again, he may have to tell his brother, because man, I can't let you go on not knowing this, because if it ever come out, I can't let you know that I knew this. Your only play that I think is if it comes out. I didn't know y'all his brothers until I met y'all at New Year's Eve, and I was humiliated and batrassed I didn't know what to do, and I've been shaking in my boots until this came to life because I didn't want to lose you. You're the best thing ever happened to me. He gonna leave you, but that you want to Try to say that though, Try to get that in and cry while you see. But his asses go. If his brother tell him, it's gonna be messed up. Man. So here we are at this moment. I am gonna play the boyfriend who's having some suspicions because y'all act a little strange around each other. Jay is gonna be the girl trying at all costs to keep me off this subject. No problem, Hey, baby, can't talk to you about something yet about you know, every time I see you and my brother around each other, y'all, y'all that kind of strange. What strange strange?

They were on a podcast and they just got real about their beauty routines. And the couple revealed that they only wash souls and holes every day, so yeah, they don't take baths that often. They only watched souls and holes every day, and the same goals for bathing their kids. They said that there's no point in bathing the kids all the time unless you literally see dirt on them, and that's what they said what they did with their newborn. And when he was with Demi Moore, he didn't do that. He took a whole baith. He was this behind Oh damn bail. Then he wasn't having this. Yes, she wasn't having that. What is just half ass half and you bathe and you're doing this? Don't make no sense? Are we getting pumped? Are we getting pumped? No? No, this is everywhere. I saw the story trending and I'm like, they only wash souls and holes. That's a little too much information the right, Steven feet right, so they're doing those holes, your holes, and then there's of course there's that one, then there's that. Yeah, we gotta go more of the Steve Harb. Yeah, you're listening to show, all right, check this out, guys. Charles Berkeley says the only people who don't have the COVID nineteen vaccines are just well buttholes. But he said a hole, said Carl, he said a hole, Le said, people that don't get the vaccines asshole. Thank you, thank you. That's a little it was my honor. Well I check this out. While appearing on seeing CNBC, I should say, Charles Barkley said I'm vaccinated, and everybody should be vaccinated period. The only people who are not vaccinated are just a holes. Sir Charles went on to say he personally thinks that the sports leagues should force players to get vaccinated, and he said, can you imagine if one of these guys that are not vaccinated, if they were, you know, they want these players or their kids, or their wives, or their girlfriends or their parents get sick and die over some unnecessary conspiracy bull blank. That's Sir Charles said, I don't understand somebody else on the team, and you got all these people around you, I don't understand them not getting vaccinated. That makes no sense. You know, are you playing day in and day out, you know that this virus is deadly, and you don't want to You don't want to protect yourself and everybody around you. That don't make no sense to me. It not only don't make no sense if you playing basketball on the team sport, it don't make no sense if you're part of a family. Right to see, it's it's it's more non athletes than it is athletes that's walking around not vaccinated. And I started to on this show not to push the vaccination because I was getting so many friends of mine gonna hay Man, Steve, and ain't right for you to push that you don't know what's in it, sending people off to slaughter. Well, now that several very very close people in my life have contracted COVID, and a very very close person in my life it's in the hospital right now suffering been in I SEU five days with COVID. They just moved him to a regular room. I was able to talk to him. He said, Man, I wish I got that vaccine. Wow. Now there's a report out. Somebody told me as I haven't seen it, but somebody said that most people who are in the hospital now who have contracted COVID, who do not have the vaccine, every last one of them has said I wish I had taken the vaccine now, because he once you get hospitalized, those symptoms then got serious, very serious. It's a serious, deadly diseased. My in laws, who are in their eighties, got vaccinated. The nurse that goes to their house gave them COVID. They didn't even have to go to the hospital now pre existing condition, and the doctor clearly stated if they had not got this vaccine two weeks ago when we celebrated their sixtieth were in the anniversary, we might not be happy. Coming up, it will be our last break of the day and Steve Harvey will have his closing remarks, and that's coming up at nine after the hour. You're listening to, Okay, Steve closing remarks, the last break of the day, you know, Man, I was thinking about this, and I'd gotten into a conversation with a few young people yesterday at work and we were talking about becoming successful. And they asked me, They said, mister h what do you think is one of the key components to being successful? And I wanted to try to share with them in a different way than I normally do, because you know, people think I'm repetitive, but you the principles of a success are not going to change. You can find more clever ways to say it, but they're the same principles. And I told them, I said, you gotta get good at suffering and then with what? And I said, yeah, if you want to be successful, you're going to have to get really good it's suffering. They said, please explain that, because don't nobody want to suffer? I said, that's true. Nobody wants to suffer. But in order to be successful, you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable. And they were young, and they were just really honestly asking me, but why are you saying that? I said, because everything you want in life, everything you consider success, it's on the other side of some discomfort. You've got to break through the wall of discomfort in order to get to whatever it is you want. I don't care what it is. If you want to win the strong man contest, you got to get uncomfortable. If you want to win a gold medal in the Olympics, you got to get uncomfortable. Boat. If you want a college degree, you're gonna have to get uncomfortable. You want to climb the corporate ladder, you gotta get uncomfortable. You want the top position down at your job, you got to get uncomfortable. You want to make the track team, the basketball team, the baseball team, you gotta get uncomfortable. You want to one day get the world record in the high jump, you gotta get uncomfortable. You want to break you same boats record, you gotta get uncomfortable. I don't care who you are or what you do, but if you have any aspiration of being successful, you gonna have to get uncomfortable. Because let me tell you something. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's exactly where you will failed. Stay there, Stay in your comfort zone, and watch what happened to you that you're gonna fail in that thing right there, because there is no success in comfort. Getting successful and having something in life and wanting more in life is so uncomfortable. That's why I told him early on, I said, you got to get good at suffering. So I'm gonna tell you something about Steve Harvey. You can say whatever you want to say about me, but I'm good at suffering. And you got to say, well, that's a stupid thing to get good at. Okay, call it stupid if you want to, But I got good at it. And what makes me be able to sustain and fight through all the things that have happened to me because of God's grace and his mercy and his strengthening me. But the strength he gave me, he gave me an ability to suffer. Well, Oh, Steve harn know how to suffer. I have set within this thing with nothing but me and God so many times, so many days, so many weeks, so many years. It wasn't nobody but me and him. I've learned how to suffer. If you don't get into learning how to deal with suffering and discomfort, you're not going to be successful. I'm sorry to tell you that I wish there were another way. But everything that you want in life is on the other side of some discomfortable, something discomforting. You got to break through the wall of discomfort. You got to break through the circle of convenience. You've got to break through the moments of suffering to get to what you want in life. You want to keep your relationship together, you got to get in there and get uncomfortable. You got to start talking about the things that y'all don't really want to talk about. You got to open up the can of worms that you wish would keep lead on it. That's if you want your relationship to last. Because I don't care what relationship you're in, you're gonna hit the point where you're gonna have to talk about some uncomfortable things. You want to save your money for a new house, you got to get uncomfortable. Why I got to get uncomfortable save money for a new house because you can't go spend like you want to. Now, you got to put some money away. And if you want to put some money ways me and you got have to cut back on something that ain't comfortable, that's uncomfortable. And I'm just talking to you about small things. Oh but don't mess around and want nothing big in life. Don't sit up here and decide you really want to be successful. Let's say you consider success being a millionaire. Let's just say that's not the definition of success. But let's just say you want to be a millionaire. Can I tell you something. You got to get ready to suffer because they're not printing that money out there and then mailing it to people's houses. You got to go and do some serious things to acquire a million dollars, and then you got to do some even more serious things to hold onto it. And then you got to get even more serious if you want to acquire some more. So y'all, here's what I'm telling you, and please don't take it the wrong way. But if you have any aspirations or becoming more than what you are right now, you got to get out your comfort zone and you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable flat period. That's all to it. And when you get uncomfortable, Before you get uncomfortable, you need some God, don't wait till you're uncomfortable to call it. Start that relationship. Now those are my clothes and remarks. I hope it helps you. In the meantime. You got stick. Go see y'all tomorrow. Bye for all. Steve Every contests No purchase necessary, avoid where prohibited.
